There's very little that's worse than that.Terri Brucehttp://www.terribruce.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-53277634636910163992012-05-24T05:55:43.450-07:002012-05-24T05:55:43.450-07:00I absoulutely hate the 'spoiler' ... and f...I absoulutely hate the 'spoiler' ... and found this blog to be immensely entertaining and well-written! Bravo, Ginger... I'm still chuckling! The same goes for the 'movie' spoiler . . . or the football score spoiler! Let me enjoy the excitement of finding out for myself . . . isn't that why I'm reading/watching or exposing mysself to the experience?

I really think they do it on purpose out of spite, vengence, jealousy whatever.<br />Love "You don't know shit." I'd love to be able to use that phrase to some of our detractors, but I guess Amazon would crucify me if I did.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />MargaretMargaret Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123830410502520003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-59357189927225804952012-05-24T01:16:19.381-07:002012-05-24T01:16:19.381-07:00Reviewing is hard, and I too refuse to trash an au...Reviewing is hard, and I too refuse to trash an author or a book, that isn't playing fair as we all get different things from books at various times of our lives. I found 'Persuasion' boring at 18, but at 25 I loved the character of Anne Elliot and it's now one of my favourites.Anita Davisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068890701803582595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-69782030901517392762012-05-23T17:30:24.161-07:002012-05-23T17:30:24.161-07:00Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

A little of both I think. <br />My take is "Those who can do.

Nor do they know the meaning of common courtesy.

You hit the nail...Perfect ending to a perfect post. You hit the nail on the head, Ginger, some people shouldn't be allowed to review. I get angry when people reveal too much of my book - things I want the reader to be surprised about, but the ending, well that just shouldn't be allowed. I had a reviewer who didn't even read my book because my blurb had punctuation errors in it. Never knew a reviewer to base a book on the blurb. But it takes all kinds. I try to ignore them, but sometimes it's difficult.Roseanne Dowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473329969019245459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-34722629276708622562012-05-23T06:03:15.239-07:002012-05-23T06:03:15.239-07:00I don't think those reviews that give away the...I don't think those reviews that give away the inner workings of the plot line should be permitted in reviews at all. And certainly the ending should never be revealed. It's very unfair. Good writeup, Ginger, as always.Joan Hall Hoveyhttp://www.joanhallhovey.comnoreply@blogger.com
